以紫锥菊(Echinacea purpurea)无菌苗为材料,研究了不同激素配比条件下不同外值体愈伤组织的诱导及所诱导的愈伤组织中的主要成分多糖和总酚,并应用高效液相色谱法对根愈伤组织提取物与紫锥菊根提取物中的酚酸类物质进行了比较分析.结果表明,紫锥菊不同部位愈伤组织诱导的最适宜激素配比不同,其中根愈伤组织诱导的最佳激素配比为0.5 mg/L 2,4-D 0.5 mg/L 6-BA.叶、茎、根诱导愈伤组织的多糖含量分别为10.15、11.84、14.49 mg/g干重;总酚含量分别为52.16、28.144、7.99 mg/g干重.根愈伤组织总酚和多糖含量均较高,其提取物的酚酸类物质的高效液相色谱与紫锥菊根提取物图谱主峰一致,且生长速度快、质地疏松,是细胞培养获取紫锥菊主要生物活性成分的适宜材料.     

中国桔梗多倍体诱导与鉴定

在离体培养条件下,比较了不同浓度、不同处理时间的秋水仙素对中国桔梗（Platycodon grandiflorus A．CD）进行染色体加倍的诱导效果。结果表明：用含0．1％秋水仙素处理40h后诱导频率可达50％,诱导效果最佳。经秋水仙素诱导后形成的多倍体植株与原二倍体植株比较,在形态上,多倍植株叶片变宽变大,叶色变深,茎变粗且节距长,气孔增大而单位叶面积气孔数目减少。对变异植株进行细胞学研究发现,体细胞中期染色体数目为2n=4x=36,而原二倍体的染色体数目为2n=2x=18,基数x=9,因此,变异植株（2n=4x=36）为四倍体。前者的核型公式为2n=4x=14m＋20sm＋2st,核型属于2B;后者的核型公式为2n=2x=7m＋10sm＋1st,核型也属于2B。检测发现有少数个体有非整倍体变异。

Flavonoids from Echinacea purpurea

Two compounds, nicotiflorin and rutin, are isolated and idenitified from flowers of Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench., of the family Asteraceae, cultivated in Samara oblast. It is established that nicotiflorin (3-O-rutinoside campherol) is the dominant flavonoid of Echinacea purpurea; it is described along with rutin for the first time for this plant, cultivated in the Russian Federation and CIS countries.     

Regeneration of Echinacea purpurea: Induction of root organogenesis from hypocotyl and cotyledon explants

An in vitro propagation system was developed for Echinacea purpureaL. (purple coneflower), a medicinal plant commonly used in the treatment of colds, flu and related ailments. Root organogenesis from Echinacea purpurea hypocotyl explants was effectively induced by indolebutyric acid. Indoleacetic acid was found to be less effective than indolebutyric acid while treatments with naphthaleneacetic acid were ineffective for induction of root organogenesis. The results of this study have established a micropropagation system for Echinacea purpurea that will provide axenic plant material for further investigations into medicinally active biochemicals and the mass production of high-quality Echinacea purpurea root tissues for the commercial market. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation of Echinacea purpurea

Summary Echinacea purpurea seedlings were inoculated with several Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains in order to obtain hairy roots. Infection with A. rhizogenes strains LMG63 and LMG150 resulted in callus formation. Upon infection with strains ATCC 15834 and R1601 hairy roots were obtained. Opine detection confirmed transformation of E. purpurea. Comparative HPLC fingerprint analysis of the alkamides from natural plant source, control tissues, and transformed callus and roots indicated that transformed callus and hairy roots might be a promising source for continuous and standardized production of the dodeca-2E,4E,8Z,10E/Z-tetraenoic acid isobutylamide and related amides.Abbreviations HPLC high-pressure liquid chromatography - MS Murashige and Skoog culture medium     

Photocontrol of flowering and stem extension of the intermediate-day plant Echinacea purpurea

Intermediate-day plants (IDP) flower most rapidly and completely under intermediate photoperiods (e.g., 12–14 h of light), but few species have been identified and their flowering responses are not well understood. We identified Echinacea purpurea Moench as an IDP and, based on our results, propose a novel mechanism for flowering of IDP. Two genotypes of E. purpurea ('Bravado' and 'Magnus') flowered most completely (≥79%) and rapidly and at the youngest physiological age under intermediate photoperiods of 13–15 h. Few (≤14%) plants flowered under 10- or 24-h photoperiods, indicating E . purpurea is a strongly quantitative IDP. Plants were also induced to flower when 15-h dark periods were interrupted with as few as 7.5 min of low-intensity lighting (night interruption, NI). Flowering was progressively earlier as the NI increased to 1 h, but was delayed when the NI was extended to 4 h. Stem length increased by ≥230% as the photoperiod or NI duration increased, until plants received a saturating duration (at 14 or 1 h, respectively). Flowering was inhibited when 16-h photoperiods were deficient in red (R, 600–700 nm) light, and was promoted when photoperiods were deficient in far-red (FR, 700–800 nm) light. Because of our results, we propose the flowering behavior of IDP such as E . purpurea is composed of two mechanisms: a light-dependent response operating through light-labile (type I) phytochrome in which flowering is inhibited by an LD, and a light-stable (type II) phytochrome (i.e., phyB, D and E) response in which flowering is promoted by a short-night.     

In vitro regeneration of Echinacea purpurea from leaf explants

Efficient plant regeneration was achieved via organogenesis from callus cultures derived from leaf tissue of Echinacea purpurea. Proliferating shoot cultures were obtained by placing leaf explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) combinations. MS medium supplemented with BAP (4.44 M) and NAA (0.054 M) was the most effective, providing high shoot regeneration frequencies (100%) associated with a high number of shoots per explant (7.7 shoots/explant). Plantlets were rooted on MS medium alone or in combination with different concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and high rooting and survival was achieved using MS media without plant growth regulators (PGR). All plantlets survived acclimatization producing healthy plants in the greenhouse. This study demonstrated that adventitious shoot regeneration of E. purpurea from leaf explants can be a useful method for the multiplication of this important medicinal plant.
